Theddlethorpe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theddlethorpe is a village in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Situated approximately four miles north of Mablethorpe and on the coast of the North Sea, the village had a population of 707 at the 2001 Census.

The National Grid plc owned Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal processes natural gas extracted from beneath the North Sea for use in the UK.

A section of the seashore of the village is part of the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve, which comprises sea dunes and both saltwater and freshwater marshes. The reserve is one of only five locations in the UK where the natterjack toad can be found.

The village legally comprises two parishes, Theddlethorpe All Saints and Theddlethorpe St Helens, each one centred around the church that gave it its name. However, the village has operated as one entity for many years.
